I give up. Do you think I'm nuts?

I'm taking two laptops and only one camera on vacation.

1. My dear Joani!

Now, why would I think you're nuts?

I'm not sure why you need two laptops....but that doesn't make you nuts!

Is one of them exclusively to store pics in? If that's the case, then you are not only NOT nuts.....you are positively brilliant!

I know you'll have a wonderful trip! :bounce: :bounce:

6. You guessed it, Peggy.

The motel in the Keys may not have a phone in the room and my new laptop needs an adapter before I'll be able to use my aircard with it. The old laptop can't handle the camera downloads. My original plan was to take both cameras. Oh well ;) life is full of options.

Thanks for your good wishes.

I am so excited about this trip

but I can't stay away from DU for 6 whole days.

2. Are you going to Laptop Camp?

:shrug:

But I bet since you are taking two, you are a Laptop Camp Counselor. Am I right?

7. No, I'm going where the cyber world keeps getting blown away.

Down into the Florida Keys just south of Miami.

I'll have a high speed connection at my first and last stops but I'm afraid there won't be a wireless network I can link into with my newer laptop midway through the trip. I love DU too much to stay away.

19. I'm having fun trying to see how high my stress level gets this summer.

I'm leaving my number_1_chill_pill at home with my house mates. There is nothing that makes me happier than a hug from my parrot.

5. Does the idea of being off-line terrify you?

Do you get hives when your broadband connection is down?

If you can answer yes to these questions, then yes, you might have a small problem.

9. Actually, it sounds like something I would do.

I once made a post stating that I was on two iBooks at the same time.

17. And to think that only 5 years ago I didn't have one computer.

My house mate is inheriting my old laptop after the aircard adapter arrives.

I still haven't found the thingy to download my cell phone pictures. :shrug: I know it's around here somewhere.

25. I'm afraid someone will be a tiny bit disappointed about not having

100% of my attention but even my house mates have gotten used to sharing me with DU.

I would miss you.
